Episode notes
Dan McFarlane's story is one that every young sport scientist should hear.
Dan and I started together as post graduate scholars at the Australian Institute of Sport, as part of the elite sport science production line of Australia.
Dan went on to be a successful performance analyst in multiple professional football codes, culminating in fulfilling his childhood dream of being part of an Australian Football League premiership win with the Sydney Swans.
Shortly after this, Dan chose to leave the industry, slightly jaded and questioning the appreciation and work/life balance decisions required to continue succeeding in the industry.
Dan's very honest and very real story shares the wonderful highs and tough lows that exist, to help us all understand what is required to succeed in elite sport.
